What is known about “Shrek 5”:
“It’s testament to his strong enthusiasm for a role that he played so brilliantly and really created together with the artists at DreamWorks. I found that comment very moving,” the executive said of Eddie Murphy’s statement.
Self [a DreamWorks] I came up with another “Shrek”, I would have done it in two seconds. I love donkey. They made the movie “Puss in Boots” and I thought “they should make a movie about the donkey”. Donkey is funnier than Puss in Boots. I mean, I love Puss in Boots, but he’s not as funny as Donkey.
